Nolan is 7 Months Old

Today, my little boy is 7 months old!! Bill and I measured and weighed him tonight because he doesn't have to go back to the pediatrician until he is 9 months old.  Nolan measured 28 inches in length and weighed 19lbs 7oz.  Once again, we don't know how accurate these measurements are, but at least we know he is continuing to grow.  

Some things Nolan enjoys doing are as follows:
                  - sticking his fingers up his nose,
                     usually only his index fingers
                  - helping with the dishes
                  - jumping in his Jumparoo
                  - eating baby food (especially sweet potatoes)
                  - sticking out his tongue
                  - reading books and have books read to him
                  - splashing in the pool 
                  - smacking his hands on things to make noise
                  - SMILING and laughing
                  - sitting up alone
                  - chewing on EVERYTHING with his
                     two new teeth (letters O and P)

Hopefully, Nolan will still have an interest in his books when he becomes older.  Both Bill and I enjoy reading, so Nolan will be surrounded by plenty of books to choose from.  Tonight I went to Target and bought Nolan a book, 'The Bedtime Stories.'  It has 13 of the old classic bedtime stories, Bill and I cannot wait to start reading them to Nolan.

Nolan Henson,

You will never realize the love and happiness you bring to your daddy and I's lives.  You're a true blessing from God.  The small little quirks you've already started to develop are going to be great characteristics in your future.  From your crooked grin to laughing when I burp.  Your daddy and I talk all the time about how you're such a sweet baby boy, and we already know you're going to have such a kind and loving heart!!  These past 7 months have been an amazing adventure and I know you will continue to amaze and entertain your daddy and I as you grow.

I love you,
Mommy
